Article Synopsis
- The paper explores how a flexible active ring, made up of active Brownian particles, escapes from a flat attractive surface using simulations.
- It identifies two main mechanisms for escape: a thermal activation process at low persistence times and a force-related issue at high persistence times.
- The study concludes that while the active ring has a complex structure, it can be effectively understood as a self-propelled Brownian particle for understanding its escape dynamics.
It has been supposed that the interplay of elasticity and activity plays a key role in triggering the non-equilibrium behaviors in biological systems. However, the experimental model system is missing to investigate the spatiotemporally dynamical phenomena. Here, a model system of an active chain, where active eccentric-disks are linked by a spring, is designed to study the interplay of activity, elasticity, and friction.
